the hell up.
Hey, you guys, let me catch up!
Creep.
Wait up for me!
- Hey, guys!
- Get lost, Pritchett!
- We don't need you around here.
- Come on, let me catch up!
Go itch it, Pritchett!
You heard me. Get lost!
- Itch it, Pritchett. Pritchett, itch it.
- Go.
Watch out!
Pritchett, itch it.
Hiya, boy. How you doing?
Good boy!
Good dog, Edward.
Are you all right?
- What was that all about?
- Nothing.
Even the most disciplined
professional traveller...
...may sometimes stumble across
that unexpected item he feels...
...he simply must take home.
That's fine, as long as one is willing
to accept the inconvenience...
...and awkwardness that come
with each additional piece of baggage.
I don't think Alexander's
getting a proper education.
He's okay.
I asked him to figure what change
they'd give back when we bought milk...
...and he had no idea. He didn't
even know he'd have to subtract.
- He's only in second grade.
- You should switch to a private schooI.
- Private schools cost money.
- So I'll pay.
What are you saying?
Pardon?
Are you saying you're committed?
Well, that's not really the point.
Alexander's got 10 more years of schooI.
Will you be around for that?
I can't put him
in a private schooI...
...and take him out again
on every passing whim of yours.
Just tell me this. Do you picture us
getting married sometime?
- When your divorce comes through?
- MurieI...
...marriage is...
I don't know.
You don't, do you?
You don't know what you want.
One minute you like me,
the next you don't.
One minute you're ashamed of me, the
next I'm the best thing to happen to you.
You think you can just
go along like this. No plans.
Maybe tomorrow you'll be here,
maybe you won't.
Maybe you'll just go on back to Sarah.
- AII I'm saying is-
- AII I'm saying is...
...take care what you promise my son.
Don't go making him promises
you don't intend to keep.
But I just want him to learn
how to subtract.
Shall I dry?
Just tell me this, Macon.
Be honest.
Why can't we get married in the fall?
You'll be separated a year then, Macon.
Hey, MurieI, please,
I'm not ready for this.
I don't think I ever will be.
I don't think marriage
ought to be as common as it is.
I really believe it ought to be
the exception to the rule.
Perfect couples could marry, maybe...
...but who's a perfect couple?
- You and Sarah, I suppose.
- No, no.
You are so selfish.
You are so self-centred!
You have all these fancy reasons
for never doing a single thing I want!
Macon's sister, Rose, is getting married.
You understand that, Alexander?
Now, don't be nervous, honey.
You're it! I'm coming to get you!
- No, you're not!
- You're it!
- Is that right?
- Yes, I did.
- What's this?
- Hey, look! Something for you.
Look out!
Hello, Macon.
- Hello, Sarah.
- Turned out to be a beautifuI day.
Yes. Yes.
I worried when it rained last night.
How've you been, Macon?
I've been all right.
How have you been?
Fine.
Well, good.
I know you're living with someone.
Yes, actually.
Yes, I am.
Rose told me when she invited me.
- How about you?
- Me?
- Are you living with anyone?
- Not really.
We're ready now.
Sarah's my matron of honour.
Did I happen to mention that?
No, you didn't.
Let's go.
Welcome, friends.
We are gathered here today
in this lovely garden...
...to join Rose Anne Leary
and Julian Hedge...
...in holy matrimony.
In turbulent, troubling times, a good
marriage can be the one safe place...
...we know we can go.
Once we've been to that place,
known that peace...
...we can never forget it.
I have to be able
to tell you what I want, Macon.
- I have to.
- You can.
But without being afraid
you'll go away.
- I can't be afraid all the time.
- It's all right, I'm not going away.
You are. You're all packed.
I'm going to Canada tomorrow,
remember? It's just my work.
Don't leave me, Macon.
Go to sleep, MurieI.
